Good day all. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 2 weeks, you\u2019ve probably heard about the massive trucker protest up in Canada. Currently, they are in their second week of protesting in Ottawa, and Prime Idiot Minister Justin Trudeau is still in hiding.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the protest started growing, the organizers opened a Go Fund me account to raise donations to pay for things like food, fuel and other ancillary things. The account quickly raised $11 million dollars. Go Fund me froze the account while they verified how the money was to be dispersed, then allowed about $1 million to be released.<\/p>\n

Then the Canadian government started flinging around accusations and demanded that Go Fund me send the government all the funds. Shortly thereafter, the accounts were frozen again, and this is where Go Fund Me pulled a real bone headed maneuver. They announced that they would be sending the money to charities instead of refunding it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Needless to say this set of a lot of people including a few state Governors and State Attorneys General. They flat out stated that taking the money for one purpose, (Funding the protest), then giving it to some other \u201ccause\u201d was fraud and that they would start investigating GFM. Things have been in flux for the last few days, so here are some details from <\/b>Newsmax<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis said Saturday it was fraud for GoFundMe to “commandeer” $9 million in donations sent to support protesting truck drivers in Canada and\u00a0he will investigate what he called “deceptive practices” by the website.<\/b><\/p>\n

Usually when GFM or other Big Tech sites pull something like this, it takes a civil suit to get some sort of action taken. The suits usually have to be filed by the donors, and GFM will wave their TOS, (Terms of Service), and say \u201cArbitration!\u201d which will usually end in their favor. What Governor DeSantis and others are saying is that this will be a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

GoFundMe took down the so-called Freedom Convoy’s page Friday, saying it violated its terms of service. It said donors had two weeks to request a refund, then remaining funds would be disbursed to “credible and established charities.” <\/b><\/p>\n
